So we have this new technology, Wi-Fi 6, to help out in these scenarios.”
For commercial real estate owners, the EWS357AP 2×2 antenna design will fulfill the Wi-Fi connecivity demands of their SMB tenants.

As a bonus for commercial real estate owners, they can provide tenants with enhanced connectivity without significantly restructing their network.
“The end user experience will be more fluent, faster and improved,” Slayman said. “A majority of that improvement is coming down to the hardware of the device itself. Users are going to maximize on the capacity and efficiency of clients and the number of clients they can add. You can add 25% more clients within a network.”
